An an actor all her lite t-he believed there was no profession more important to the community than that of providing entertainment. JJut tho profession was at the mercy of exploiters. ARTISTES EXPLOITED. I The provision of entertainment was passing into the hands of people who xjho not actors or musiciaus, and were exploiting the artistes. Puritanism had not altogether passed away, and actors were still looked upon as people of no religion, who led the way down the fanciful path to a place she did not like to mention. It was a false idea, and actors needed the recognition of the community to establish acting on a firm basis of what was beautiful, just, and right.

I The Note points out a number of such obligations which Germany has failed to fulfil, or has only partially fulfilled, and therefore makes various demands, includ- !U?' the surrender of fin) light cruisers, and four hundred thousand tons floating docks, tug boats, and dredgers. Tfie crews of the warships scuttled at Scapa How are also to be detained. Coercive measures are threatened in the event of the refusal of these demands. Thrt Berlih morning papers term these demands fresh extortion, and one paper says, that the Note is nothing but a fresh pretext for taking exactly those things Ensrland could do with for the restoration of her naval predominance.

TURKS' BRUTALITY I King's Sympathy With Missionary. ItAL Archibald Forder, an English mis- sionary, who suffered bitter persecution at the bands of the Turks in Palestine for four rears during the war, has just re- turned from the Holy Land. He lias many frightful tales to tell of Turkish misrule in Palestine, of the i horrors of prison life in Jerusalem and • Damascus, and of the cruelties of officials, who were even calous enough to confiscate the money allowed for the burial of Bri- tish soldiers, and to cast the bodies of thrv-e bravo men to the dogs. Mr. Fordham was received at Bucking- ham Palace on Wednesday by the King, ￼ i)le or(leals who, hearing of the terrible ordeals to which he had been subjected, was moved to indignation. KING'S DISGUST. "The King received me very kindly," said iir. Forder to a Press representative, pod when I was telling my story he eoustaatly broke in with exclamations expressing his disgust at the troaiment I hud experienced. 1 told him how my wife and aJaildren -wete separated fm» nic, and how my wji-e subsequently died owing to the bad treatment she received from the Turks vhile I was in prison. He asked me if I was going out again to resume my work in Palestine. 1 said I was, and be remarked, Well, you will have a better time, because we are going to develop tho country and look after the people well. I showed the King a Damascus news- paper, printed in Arabic and containing an article about myself. I had a trans- lation with me, which the King read. IMAGINATIVE STORY. I "His Majesty laugh ted heartily at the imaginative story given or himself, run- ning into a cellar in Edgware-road to es- cape from Zepelin bombs and calling to the Queen to help him out of his trouble. He said he did not think be was so popu- lar with the Turks as to be written about in their newspapers. I also told th King that Vtie Ger- mans had been instrumental m stirring up the Turks against ine. He said:— Oh, the Germans are linished now. ke what has happened to the Kaiser. He has had to run away from his own people and his own country and seek refuge in a neutral country. He is well punished for what he did." Mr. Forder bears visible traces of his harahips and captivity in Palestine. Five J'ears ago lie was a strong and athletic Ulan. but although it is over a year since Jw wag rescued, when the Australians en- tered Damascus, ho is now but a shadow of his former self, and bis right arm and side have been rendered almost useless owing to the damp state of the cells in which he was confined.

At the opening the Lord Chief Justice said that when the parties agreed to take steps to obtain a. divorce by suppressing or concealing facts, they were committing a criminal offence. It was very desirable that, people should know that General Ilickman gave evidence. In evidence, General Hickman said he was very reluctant to take steps in the matter, because lie disliked indulging in personalities at elections. He considered it a duty to his constituents, however, to act as he did. Referring to the allegation that plaintiff had illtreated Mrs. Fox. well's child.

J AP AN AND CHINA.1, j II Answers to Allay j I Coolness. Tokyo, Oct. 21th (delayed). Ratification of the peace treaty fol- lowed the ordinary constitutional course of examination by the privy council, which is charged with the duty of super- vising international commitments. Thero is no reason to suppose that the American Senate's rejection of the Shantung amendment has influenced Japan, though officials were relieved by the Senate vote. Negotiations will be opened with China for the restitution of German acquisi- tions in Shantung, except the economic I concessions, which Japan will retain. The Government is anxious to ) ALLAY THE COOLNESS concerning Japan's policy which is mani- fested ahroad. and tho Chinese settlement, to the surprise of the ruling classes here, will probably be sooner reached and at the same time be more generous than was at first contemplated. Uneasiness exists regarding CII ines bitterness, which is lasting too long to p!(\ase the Japanese. The traders' boy- ii i nise t l i(, Taj)an(,se. cott is still rigid, and. although Japanese ?o<x? are indispensable, the merchants who seil them trade-mark them as Anglo- ivilo ppil tl l(,rl-l trade-iiiarl, them as
